Just a quick one! I've been to 2 interviews now for a signaller and on both occasions, the interviewer doesn't seem convinced by my "communications" answer. They probed me both times. On the first occasion, I was told I did everything right apart from that one question about comms. Does anyone...

Kneeon- may I ask how many questions were on the numeracy test and how long were you given? Also the same for the verbal reasoning? I've got to get mine done by Monday, so I am doing a few practice tests to get back into the swing of things!

thanks very much. I'm sorry to read about your predicament. I really hope you find what you are looking for in the future.

Thanks for the offer and I may well take you up on it in the future. Best wishes.

:) I like your last point buddy. However sometimes in life, there are issues that you simply cannot find common ground on. This is such an issue. It is so emotive, that people on both sides can become defensive. I am not sure I agree with your comparison with safety of signalling! With...

And how do I do that when I they refuse to give me any feedback, as the rejection was at application form stage?

Totally baseless? Okay, I don't see anything constructive with carrying on this conversation.

To answer this, why not look at previous cases as to why some companies do not apply the same criteria to everyone. :wink: I really hope I get that email!

yep I have, however, you should understand that marking an online application form is subjective. I am sure if you completed an application, you would want it to be assessed in a set, precise manner. That is what I would want- to find out how it was assessed and that managers are applying the...

But I already passed the tests- via the day assessment in London! I could have accepted it if I had failed just one application form stage, but 5!!! It really beggars belief and I have wasted my time and money going to the assessment day in London :(

They were all roles in the south east of england. It all seems so illogical.

Just logged onto the recruitment portal and was shocked to see I have been rejected for 4 jobs in a row (and I didn't even have emails sent to me to confirm this)!!! Like I said in a previous message, on my first application I got all the way through to interview (having passed the assessment...

not a problem, in fact they encourage it! I've applied for several myself.

Just called recruitment and the person that I spoke to said the above is untrue and that old assessment day results still stand! Do you have any written confirmation of the above?

Oh great! So does that mean my test results for the assessment day are now void?! What a pain if it is! I was told that my results would be valid for 3 years- so much for that!

It just seems an odd system. If I wanted the best person to go forward would I chose someone who has put in a good application form, but has not passed the assessment or someone who has already passed the assessment (and therefore must have put in a reasonable application form previously)? Who...

What's an LOM? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- But they should be assessing under the same criteria!

I just got my second rejection

Feedback was that I failed on the communications question which I have above :cry: Why did I think it was unusual? Perhaps I used the wrong word. I just thought the question was quite different to the other questions I got asked. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Actually you...
